Just updated my bio & it felt so good to delete “on sabbatical” from my bio. I just started working a part time job that is giving me the space to do the work I REALLY love.https://t.co/wzCzip9Zyn pic.twitter.com/I50kP3hS4x — Faith Raider (@faith_raider) May 10, 2021 from http://twitter.com/faith_raider via IFTTT
